More quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Strictly speaking, no activity and no industry is possible without a certain amount of violence, no matter how little. Even the very process of living is impossible without a certain amount of violence. What we have to do is to minimize it to the greatest extent possible.
Mahatma Gandhi
There is force in the universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results.
Mahatma Gandhi
Non-violent resistance implies the very opposite of weakness. Defiance combined with non-retaliatory acceptance of repression from one's opponents is active, not passive. It requires strength, and there is nothing automatic or intuitive about the resoluteness required for using non-violent methods in political struggle and the quest for Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
My satyagrahi spirit tells me that I may not retaliate.
Mahatma Gandhi
As the elephant is powerless to think in the terms of the ant, in spite of the best intentions in the world, even so is the Englishman powerless to think in the terms of, or legislate for, the Indian.
Mahatma Gandhi
Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.
Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi
When you want to find Truth as God, the only inevitable means is love, that is nonviolence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hinduism has absorbed the best of all the faiths of the world and in that sense Hinduism is not an exclusive religion.
Mahatma Gandhi
A votary of ahimsa must cultivate the habit of unremitting toil, sleepless vigilance, ceaseless self-control.
Mahatma Gandhi
If the English educated neglect, as they have done and even now continue, as some do, to be ignorant of their mother tongue, linguistic starvation will abide.
Mahatma Gandhi
Even the atheists, who have pretended to disbelieve in God, have believed in Truth.
Mahatma Gandhi
When real independence comes to India, the Congress and the League will be nowhere unless they represent the real opinion of the country.
Mahatma Gandhi
All true art must help the soul to realize its inner self.
Mahatma Gandhi
Hinduism has sinned in giving sanction to untouchability.
Mahatma Gandhi
Without satyagraha carried out in the proper spirit, there is no victory, no Swaraj.
Mahatma Gandhi
You will find that God is always by the side of the fearless.
Mahatma Gandhi
Only an arrogant man will claim to be independent of everybody else and be self-contained.
Mahatma Gandhi
